[Verse 1]
I lay awake at night and pray
Not to see the light of day
I wonder how to behave right
He has left me such a mess
Counting to protest
Mind can't get no rest

[Pre-Chorus]
Fast asleep where I keep my memories
He's calling me out in dreams
He visits me
And what will be?
Will I see him again soon?

[Chorus]
Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him

[Verse 2]
The scene, a city after dawn
Becomes a field of corn
And I've had this one before

[Pre-Chorus]
Fast asleep where I keep my memories
He's calling me out in dreams
He visits me
And what will be?
Will I see him again soon?
[Chorus]
Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him

[Bridge]
I know that when the story ends
The one that's in my head
Well, I'll be alone again

[Chorus]
Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him

[Outro]
Be with him, I love him, I love him, I love him
